Weather in January
January is the perfect month for a beach holiday in Phuket. Every year, thousands of tourists come to the island to enjoy the warm sea and bright sun. The weather in January is very hot: daytime temperatures consistently exceed 30 degrees, and at night they rarely drop below 27 degrees. The water temperature is around 29 degrees, and the sea on all the beaches of Phuket and Khao Lak remains calm, without waves. In January, the dry season usually begins, so there is almost no rainfall. This month is ideal for those who love hot weather. However, do not forget to use sunscreen with a factor of at least 50 SPF to prevent sunburn.
Benefits of Vacationing in January
Holidays in Phuket in January have many advantages. Firstly, it is one of the most comfortable months in terms of weather. Secondly, January is the height of the tourist season in Phuket, when most hotels, restaurants and travel agencies operate at full capacity, providing a variety of services and a high level of service. At this time, local authorities and businesses pay special attention to maintaining the cleanliness of beaches and public spaces, which makes the holiday even more comfortable. During the season, most restaurants and cafes are open, offering a wide selection of both local and international cuisine, as well as fresh seafood. Also, the flight program expands specifically for the high season, there are more flights from various cities around the world.
Disadvantages of a holiday in January
Holidays in Phuket in January have their disadvantages, which are important to consider when planning your trip. Firstly, January is the peak season, so the island can be overcrowded with tourists, and many popular places will be very crowded. High demand for renting apartments and villas leads to a noticeable increase in prices. Also, due to increased demand, we recommend that you book rental cars in advance. Getting into popular restaurants without prior reservations can be difficult, and excursions and other entertainment should be booked in advance. Also, on the beaches, due to the large number of people, it can be difficult to find secluded places to relax.
Available excursions in January
Sea and land excursions in all directions are conducted according to the schedule. All evening shows and entertainment in Phuket are available. We recommend not to postpone the excursion vacation to the last days of the vacation and book tours in advance, as the number of places is limited. To avoid the accumulation of large tourist groups, we recommend considering excursions with early departure (check with our manager about their availability).
